I am personally prepared to render all the necessary support and guidance for the solid and continued development of the school.

“Staff salary, part-time allowances and other remuneration are always paid as at when due. The staff strength is on the increase because last year with two department we were offering about 25 courses with about 10 part-time lecturers every semester while now we are having about 35 lecturers to cover about 65 courses every semester.”

He said the school will soon embark on structural development where a multi-functional building complex will be provided for the conducive need of the staff and students of the school. “The building when completed will contain additional class rooms, standard ICT centre, standard Lecture theatre, modern laboratories, school canteen/restaurant, sport facilities, demonstration room and other vital components that will promote the learning system in the school.”

Mahadi Shehu is appreciated.

“Finally, with deepest sense of regret, I would like to use this medium to extend our condolence to the parents of one of our students who was kidnapped and later killed by kidnappers early this year along Kaduna Birnin Gwari road on his way back to school after the semester break.
